The two of them flew left and right between the houses for a while, Jing Lingyu stopped, hid on the side of a ridge, and looked down,

I saw that the front wide street is a small courtyard, the gatehouse is warm and faint, the snow hits the red light, the high wall is silver and white, the central flat is wide and several zhang, the surrounding railing corridor is simple and thin, straight and regular, cold and deserted, no one is seen, the main hall in the courtyard is extremely wide, the huge plaque is hung high, the top of the hall is low and flat like a saddle, the eaves are far away, the slight arc, the edge has a buckle, the tone is black and deep, it is the ancient style of the Warring States period, there seems to be a pavilion behind the main hall, it is lost in the smoke and snow, faintly see the outline, but it is not real,

Chang Sihao saw that there was not even a single tree planted in this courtyard, and there was no rockery stone carving, gardening miniature, although the shape was quaint, but it really seemed deserted, looking at the word "Dayou" on the huge plaque in the main hall, he felt even more abrupt, and asked: "There is obviously nothing in this courtyard, but this hall is called Dayou Palace, what is there at the bottom," Jing Lingyu said: " Soft to the throne, large and up and down should be it, said to be great, its virtue is strong and civilized, should be the day and the time, is to Yuan Heng, like said: fire in the sky, there is great; the gentleman to do all the evil to promote the good, Shun Tian is also to die," Chang Sihao frowned, did not understand a word, asked: "Is this place a academy?"

Jing Lingyu said: "What academy, stupid, this is the general altar of our alliance,"

Chang Sihao sighed, and almost fell off the eaves: "The general altar of the Hundred Swords Alliance, this is such a place," although he has never been here, but he has always heard a lot of rumors in the mouths of the people, for the leader of the Hundred Swords Alliance Zheng Tianxiao, the prime minister Jing Wenzhong, the head of the three departments of Xuanyuan Shi, the nine swords of the Sword Cultivation Hall, etc., have long been familiar, and because he has personally seen Liao Gushi, Cang Shuilan and Shen Yuanzhi are all extraordinary figures, since he has a beautiful vision and yearning for this Hundred Swords Alliance that is relied on by the Qin family as a strong ally, I really can't imagine this personThe martial arts holy land of "all swords, and there is a Bangbin on the seat" is so simple and plain, after looking at it carefully, he shook his head again and again to express disbelief,

Jing Lingyu looked sideways with contempt, and muttered: "Soil leopard, country man, snobbish," Chang Sihao grinned, with an expression of "don't you need to be so mean", and asked: "Why don't you even have a guard at the main altar, and you can't see a single figure, it's not like you said at all,"

Jing Lingyu glanced at him: "What kind of place is our alliance, and it also needs fortifications, except for holding night banquets, internal and external tea parties, debate meetings, sword sacrifices or other major events, there are no people at the main altar at night, except for the gatekeepers, only the master of Zheng League, the nine great swords, the old swordsman Xu and our family live here for a long time, and there are very few servants, the chief of the three departments and the swordsmen under his rule live elsewhere, each has a mansion, just now we passed through this large area of houses Some of them are their mansions, and some still often live in the city Sword Villa, as for the swordsmen below, The knights, the league and others have their own errands, some are in Beijing, some are in other cities, Tiannan and Haibei, all gather at the general altar to talk?"

Chang Sihao looked back at the way she came, and then realized that when she led the way, she turned left and right to avoid the residences of those masters, and she was a little strange in her heart: "You originally said that you wouldn't return to the alliance, why did you come to the general altar again," and suddenly understood: "She did this, because she was doing this to spy on the situation, and when she came back with Shen Chunan, she couldn't do anything," Jing Lingyu pointed out: " Dayou Hall is mainly used to deal with foreign affairs and receive guests, the small hall that can only see the roof in the back is the middle hall, and the affairs of the alliance are generally handled there, the west courtyard is the sword test pavilion, the east courtyard is the sword pavilion, Zheng Mengzhu lives in the small courtyard behind the middle hall, and then there is the sword cultivation hall, Xu Lao swordsman usually leads the nine great swords to participate in the study there, "Chang Sihao asked: "Then where do you live," Jing Lingyu said proudly: " My family and the families of the other Nine Great Swords live next to each other, on both sides of the Sword Cultivation Hall and in the back of the Cross Courtyard, which is the closest place to the peak of the world's sword path,"

Chang Sihao looked at her like this, thinking that there are people outside the world, there is a sky outside the sky, what is the peak of the sword, they are all the same people, your alliance may not be higher than others, even if those big swords are the strongest in the world, then they are powerful, you just live closer to them, what is there to be beautiful, Jing Lingyu suddenly made a boo gesture, the bell rang on the far street, and there were horses looming in the snow shadows, the speed was not fast, and it was gradually approaching,

The horses that came were two in the front, three in the back, and one in the back, showing the appearance of a team, and the people on the horse were each wearing a warm color, and the first two horses were sitting on Shen Chunan and Luo Aohan, Huo Tingyun, Chu Dongjin and Yu Xuebing were sandwiched in the middle, after Jiang Zi'an fell, Yu Xuebing turned back from time to time, as if she was talking to her about something, and Jiang Zi'an always hung her head, her face was in the shadow under the warm hat, and the six girls stopped in front of the gatehouse, and there was an old servant who greeted and served, and the six girls got off the horse, and said a few words to the old servant, the old servant retreated, several women rushed in, the horses were led by themselves, turned to the west, Chang Sihao looked high, there was a piece of misty snow shadow on the west side across the courtyard The eaves were low, which seemed to be where the stables were,

The two waited quietly, and after a while, the six girls in the west turned out, walked backwards along the corridor, there were no horses around, Jing Lingyu beckoned, led Chang Sihao down to the outside of the stable, listened to the movement through the wall, and flipped in, the two dodged and dodged, stepping on the footprints left by Shen Chunan and others, bypassing the central hall of Dayou Hall and Hessesen, and suddenly heard the voice of Luo Aohan speaking in front of him, coming in reverse, Jing Lingyu hurriedly turned around, pulled Chang Sihao, the two of them hurriedly ran back, turned to the corridor of the central hall, hidden behind the pillar, felt unsafe, pointed to the door of the hall, Chang Sihao understood, the two flashed in,

The hall is dark and lonely, cold and deep, and the square wooden support columns are also dark and dumb, only through the faint snow light through the window can glimpse the faint outline of the upper part of the column, and the lower part seems to be integrated with the darkness, with Chang Sihao's excellent eyesight at this time, he can't see the material of the ground at all, only to feel that he stepped into the abyss like a volley, Jing Lingyu was cautious, and slowly closed the door, Chang Sihao asked in a low voice: "Is there any other exit from this hall?"

"There is a back door," she grabbed Chang Sihao, stretched out her index finger and pressed it to her lips, and slowly squatted down, Chang Sihao understood what she meant, her sisters are not shallow in kung fu, at this time she made a sound, and was found to be bad, so she squatted down with her,

The snowflakes were drifting, the wind was getting quieter, the six women's football women walked slowly on the silver light, and when they reached the side of the hall, Chu Dongjin's voice said: "Xiaoqing said that the master of the Zheng League was discussing matters in the middle hall, why didn't we see any lights when we passed by just now," Jiang Zi'an said: "Yes, I also looked here when I came over," After Yu Xuebing's persuasion all the way, her mood seemed to have improved a lot, Luo Aohan said: "Could it be that I made an appointment with Zhujian to talk about the cabinet," Chu Dongjin said: " It's possible, since Gao Gong was expelled, our candidates in the cabinet have not been decided, this time Zheng Mengzhu is stepping up the operation of this matter, Sister Chu, Xiaoyu's matter is small, it doesn't hurt to wait for a report,"

Shen Chu muttered when he heard this, and several people's footsteps stopped.

Luo Aohan rubbed his hands and said, "Eldest sister, Gao Gong has been gone for half a year, and it is time to make an idea who will be selected in the cabinet in the end, why is Lord Zheng so hesitant this time,"

Shen Chu said slowly: "Cabinet members are not as simple as befriending and controlling other officials, this matter is related to the future fortune of our alliance, and he has to be cautious,"

When she spoke, her eyes were fixed, and her thoughts flew away, as if she was thinking of something heavy and painful, and she was too disturbed.

Chu Dongjin smiled: "Now that Xu Ge is in the position of first assistant, it's not right to choose him," Yu Xuebing shook his head: "Xu rank is high and powerful, but he is not a like-minded person with my alliance, and he can succeed by coercing him by force, but he is afraid that he will disobey the yang and yin and be constrained everywhere, but there is no benefit, it is better to keep the current state and settle down peacefully,"

Luo Aohan said: "In my opinion, it is good to choose Li Chunfang, this person is weak and easy to control, at least stronger than Gao Gong,"

Jiang Zi'an looked disdainful: "What we want is not to ask them to just ventilate the news and take care of them, in that case, it is better to focus on those eunuchs who are being favored, Li Chunfang is a useless person, unless it is fine, if there is a mess, the situation will not even be stable, what do you want to do with such a waste," Luo Aohan glared and raised his voice: "You understand people, you choose," Jiang Zi'an said: " What do I choose, Xu Jieyin is bad, Chen Yiqin is a bowl of muddy soup, Li Chunfang is a wreck, Zhang Ju is a wilted old man, I can't look down on any of these people, if I am allowed to choose, I don't need anyone," Luo Aohan said coldly: "Is this what people say?"

Chu Dongjin asked, "Sister Xue Bing, what do you think?"

Yu Xuebing knew that she interjected to prevent Luo and Jiang from quarreling again, so she thought for a while, and said slowly: "In my opinion, it is still Gao Ge Lao who is the most suitable, and it is best to invite him back, but as long as Xu Ge Lao is here, I am afraid that this matter is not possible,"

Shen Chu nodded: "Well, more than three months after Gao Gong left office, Guo Pu was also cleared out of the cabinet, the power of this faction is in decline, and there is not much hope for a comeback,"

Luo Aohan said: "Who let this surnamed Gao not listen to the words of Zheng Mengzhu, he has to fight with those officials, in order to defeat a Hu Yingjia, he put all the people in his own family into it, which can be regarded as a mistake and a loss, so that Xu Ge watched a big joke beautifully,"

Chu Dongjin's expression was a little strange: "Isn't Hu Yingjia a petty official in the ministry?"

Luo Aohan waved his hand: "That Hu Yingjia is from the department, but not from the department,"

Hu Yingjia's official position is 'all given to the matter', the official rank is only seven grades, but the power is great, and the minister can be directly impeached or even criticized by the emperor, each of the six ministries has a section corresponding to the supervision, this group of people plus the imperial history of the Metropolitan Procuratorate has formed a faction of officials with small posts and big positions, which greatly affects the promotion of officials' honor and disgrace.

Chu Dongjin said: "Oh, yes, yes, I remembered wrong, Uncle Jing often said that officials must learn to 'make good words', referring to them, I remember that Hu Yingjia is the leader of the officials, I heard that the degree of argument is not below the East Factory, and the East Factory still uses knives to kill people, they only use their mouths,"

Luo Aohan said: "Yes, because the officials of this department only supervise others and no one cares about them, they have always been very arrogant, and they don't have a good relationship with them, and the officials are unstable.

Chu Dongjin said: "But everyone said that Hu Yingjia was dismissed because he offended Guo Shu Ronghua, and what does it have to do with Gao Ge Lao?"

Luo Aohan said: " Hey, you usually know to have fun, don't care about political affairs at all, the gossip in the market is also trustworthy, the officialdom is very chaotic, not as simple as you think, Xu Jie, and Gao Gong are mortal enemies, last year when Emperor Jiajing was seriously ill, Xu Ge Lao secretly instructed Hu Yingjia to tell Gao Gong, saying that he saw that the emperor was seriously ill and moved out of the Zhilu not on duty, clearly ill-intentioned, and secretly believed that the emperor was going to die, at that time Jiajing was so sick that he couldn't see the excerpts, and this impeachment was pressed down, this year Emperor Longqing ascended the throne, Gao Gong was ready to defend himself, thinking that he was Longqing's teacher, so the emperor will be able to follow his wishes to remove Hu Yingjia's official, at that time Zheng Mengzhu and he said, Hu Yingjia's complaint is strange, there must be a conspiracy behind it, the new emperor ascended the throne not long ago, if the punishment of the official is heavy, it will not be discussed in the future, endure the calm for a while, take a step back and open the sky, this little thing will be pressed down, otherwise offend the official department, the future will be troublesome, but Gao Gong just didn't listen, gambling on this tone insisted on insisting, and finally the surname Hu was just that, the people of the Yanguan family have always been unscrupulous, how to suffer such a loss, Hu Yingjia was stabbed, everyone was depressed and buried in their hearts, Xu Ge Lao was silent on the surface, secretly supported behind the back, and as a result, the public officials were agitated to attack, accusing Gao Gong of being evil and treacherous, it was simply Cai Jing's second, the situation was immediately passive,"

Chu Dongjin said: "It turns out that Xu Ge is so treacherous, so Zi'an really didn't bend him,"

Luo Aohan smiled coldly: " He has a lot of clever places, Gao Gong fell into the quagmire of the war with the official, every day he was anxious, only then did he know that he had fallen into his trap, and it was too late to regret the words of the alliance leader, at that time, he hated it so much, his mind was hot, and he actually sent his own family of people to counterattack Xu Ge Lao, but Xu Jieshu had deep roots, and after the defeat of Yan Song, the hundred officials were grateful, and there were countless cronies placed everywhere in the past few years, although Gao Gong was the teacher of the new emperor, after all, the confidence was still insufficient, and as a result, he shot at Xu Ge Lao, Xu Ge Lao said that he was old and frail, begged to retire, and put on a show"Can't I fight with you," the posture of the hundred officials was angry, and the ministers of Jiuqing, the north and south of the road, rushed up, collectively impeached Gao Gong, and participated in his performance every day, so that the emperor couldn't protect it, and finally Xu Ge Lao did not retreat, but Gao Gong was forced to a desperate situation, and he had no choice but to retire due to illness,"

Yu Xuebing sighed softly: "Gao Ge is too upright, in terms of playing with authority, where is he Xu Jie's opponent, people only used a small seven-rank official to defeat his entire lineage, which can be regarded as a big victory," Chu Dongjin asked: "Then Hu Yingjia's offense against Guo Shu Ronghua is a rumor, is it false," Luo Aohan said:" Guo Shu Ronghua invited Hu Yingjia to eat dates, but no one knew what the two talked about at the banquet at that time, although Hu Yingjia was a fellow villager of Xu Jie, but on the surface he was not a party, he went up to sue Gao Gong, and Gao Gong naturally had to send someone to probe his reality in order to make a decision, but his own family of people could not come forward, this messenger, of course, should be handed over to Guo Dugong, who is the best at doing this kind of thing,"

Chu Dongjin said curiously: "When will Gao Gong be able to make Guo Shu Ronghua,"

Luo Aohan smiled: "Hehe, of course not, with Guo's temper, even if Gao Gong is close, he will give a little face, all over the world, except for his top boss Feng Bao and the emperor, no one has moved him," Chu Dongjin was silent, seemed to be confused, difficult and difficult to understand, Luo Aohan smiled: "Think about it, since we have made every effort to accept the Gao Ge Lao, can we sit idly by and ignore him,"

Chu Dongjin realized: "So that's the case, right, with the friendship between the alliance leader and Gonggong Feng......"

Luo Aohan said: "It's a pity that Gao Gong is too uncompetitive, and finally ended up like this, he failed to live up to the expectations of the Zheng League Lord, he also came to the League when he left, Director Jing and Zheng League Master saw him off together, you all remember, the officialdom is the most unfavorable, the big pavilion old man went home, his protégés didn't even see him off, the tree fell and scattered, and the forces of the faction also collapsed, and it didn't affect our Hundred Swords Alliance, so I said that I wanted to choose Li Chunfang, the picture is to win in stability,"

Jiang Zi'an said: "If the people in the cabinet don't arrange a tough one, what's the point, what we need is a partner who can accept the righteousness of the sword family and use it for the country, but not a waste, Li Chunfang's soft persimmon is not as smart as a eunuch, you can put him forward, what kind of vision," Luo Aohan said angrily: "What are you talking about," Chu Dongjin had a headache again, and stomped his feet: "Oh, you two ......" Luo Aohan said angrily: "What are the two of us, it's obviously her, she choked on fire because of Liao Gushi's matter, but with me,," Shen Chu shook his orange skirt and said, "Forget it, don't fight,"

Luo Aohan half-opened his mouth and swallowed the words that came to his mouth,

Shen Chu muttered: "The uncles are usually reluctant to talk to us about this, because they are afraid that the girl's family will not know the general situation, like you two who don't talk nonsense, this matter has not even been decided by the master of the Zheng League for a long time, it can be seen that the stakes of the joints are not trivial, you and I are short-sighted, it is better to talk less, let's go," Luo Aohan and Jiang Zi'an were not convinced by each other, they both snorted, but they stopped talking, a few people turned the corner of the corridor, slowly came to the door, each tidied up their clothes, and looked at the window There was no light, obviously there was no light and no fire in the hall, not like someone looked like a person,

Shen Chu coughed lightly, paused slightly, and said, "Alliance Master, Shen Chu has something to ask to see,"
